Too Many Fannies!

No heroes. No one prepared to put a foot in or kick an opponent. No one taking responsibility. No pace. No urgency. No pride in the shirt.

Harrogate strolled to a 4-2 win. Let that sink in!

Hardly strolled. They had 5 shots on target. 4 went in. I don't disagree we were poor but they didn't stroll
 
Before the game thought it was almost the strongest side he could have picked, given some needed resting
The players are responsible for that shit show and those we can ship out we should, others should play as overage in U18's if you can and train with the youth
 
It wasn’t the strongest midfield. In fact, it was dreadful and I’m afraid Evatt must be tactically inept if he couldn’t see it.

It was the EFL Cup and he wanted to give some a start clearly and rest some others.

I'm sure it'll be more normal on sun.
 
More normal on Sunday?

We’ve lost 4 out of 5 and one of those was a last min v 10 men.!

If Carlisle dump us out the FAC we need to question the motivation from the gaffer? I’m sorry but this needs to be addressed. The form is worse than Bruce’s

If you don't like strolled how about they maybe 'sauntered' or 'ambled' through our defence for the first 16 minutes with no opposition?

Anyone who watched last night, Reading or Leyton Orient and has a single clue about football will know it has absolutely nothing at all to do with formation, selection and what input the manager has.

This situation is entirely down to the players and recruitment nothing more, nothing less.

Ridiculous comment. I said a month ago on another post that this would happen, and it’s through no fault of Evatt’s. He’s been left with a squad that is so lopsided it’s laughable. We’ve got players on the books who should be nowhere near this level (Andy Lyons, CJ, Banks, just to name a few).

Blaming the manager is utterly insane.
 
How is it ridiculous?

Yes I agree you can blame the players but also look at the gaffer? He’s let the players go on the piss and then have Monday off before last nights game. That’s bloody unprofessional to be honest, a game closer to Wembley and would have stopped the streak of no wins in five games. To me it’s disrespectful to the fans, who like me travelled to Harrogate.

If Bruce had done the same everyone would have slaughtered him.
 
We have too many really soft players in the squad. CJ, Lyons, Coulson, Morgan, Hansson, Bloxham. You can get away with a couple as long as they have the quality to make up for it but none of those players do and at the moment every starting 11 we put out therefore has multiple passengers

Morgan? He is hardly to blame.

We drew vs Leyton Orient. Can't count the youth game vs tranmere surely.

Last night was an efl trophy game and it was a strong team but with a 2nd choice poor keeper and basically no midfield, just used them there to give them some minutes.

I’ve included the last min goal vs ten men in the lost 4 in last 5 quote.

It might have been two EFL games but winning games breads winning mentality. Last night was no academy players in it and we lost to a team at the bottom of league two. What I’m saying is the gaffer has been unprofessional by letting his players go down south for a piss up after the game vs Reading. They would have been back on the Sunday and knackered for Monday (probably why they didn’t even train!!)

How is that a good mentality from the manager when he should be looking to get back to winning ways. I’m sorry but he comes across as very arrogant with this attitude.

Would Richie Wellens let his side get away with that? Would he not prepare for the game properly?

Including basically a youth game for us vs Tranmere is unfair, injuries dictated that we didn't want to risk anyone else. If we did and some got injured people would have called him stupid because it was a nothing game.

I don't care what Wellens might or might not do, we've no idea.

No idea about a piss up, have you?

From what I've seen Evatt is preparing his team properly and training is far more professional.

Yes I have an idea about the jolly boys outing and if you call not training the day before a game professional then we’re in trouble.

Not trying to be funny here. I went to Harrogate and the players/gaffer didn’t prepare properly. It’s not professional
 
I still think having Ravizzoli in goal is a green light for any opposition coach to tell their team to have a shot whenever they can see the goal!!

If their 'tanking of the Tangerines' didn't quite qualify as a stroll, maybe Harrogte's approach to the game could be more accurately described as a 'gentle canter'? And, although this description actually comes close to giving the encounter something of an an 'equestrian flavour', that would clearly be grossly misleading, as the match was hardly what you would describe as a 'two-horse race', was it!?

Out of respect to Lyons, Coulson, Morgan, Hansson and Bloxham - for CJ, in place of the description 'really soft', may I suggest the following alternative: 'absolutely clueless'?

Once it was back to 3 2 we should have got something from the game.

We waste opportunities and gift goals. Not a good combination.
